He's inspired would be adventurers for almost thirty years and now Indiana Jones heads into new territory... fashion! That's right Indyfans, the man with the hat and the rest of the clothes was the inspiration for fashion designing legend, Ralph Lauren, as Fashion Week started the boulder rolling with a bang as Indy clad models strode down the catwalk.

The American designer, Ralph Lauren, took Harrison Ford’s heroic, screen alter-ego as the inspiration for his spring/summer 2009 collection.
His models strode out, ready to conquer every obstacle from evil Nazi agents to tarantulas, wearing khaki jodhpurs and shirts, with battered ‘Akubra’ hats and leather water bottles dangling around their hips.
The Raiders of the Lost Ark concept gave Lauren, who loves to mix a ready-made fantasy theme with ready-to-wear clothes, the perfect opportunity to unleash well-made separates for survival in the urban jungle, in gabardine, cotton and silk, inspired as much by safari-style as Indiana Jones’s own wardrobe.
Perhaps Louis Vuitton can release a whole new line of purses that include a clasp to hold bullwhips! I mean if you are going to look the part, you have to accessorize. I wonder if they will have some Sallah wear at the "Big & Tall" Men's Clothing Stores. My new favorite shop after consuming all those Indy snacks and Burger King Kid's Meals this past summer!
